                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Well, I've been poking around the forums and reading some of the beginner's articles so I figured it's about time to say hello and introduce myself.<br><br>Background:<br>I've always loved music. I played saxophone for several years growing up and have always had a love for music. I had always wanted to learn to play guitar, so after my sisterâ€“Manager for Peter Framptonâ€“gave me a copy of Emedia guitar method 1 (endorsed by PF) I decided now was the time. So I bought a Yamaha 403GS acoustic guitar based on several user reviews and that I didn't want to spend much more in case I gave up.<br><br>So here I am at 34, married, practicing every night after our son goes to bed and I'm LOVIN IT!<br>Only been at it for 1 month but its been a great stress reliever.<br><br>I appreciate the wealth of info on the site and have been reading the beginner's articles, as well as refreshing myself on music theory.<br><br>Musical tastes: Foo Fighters to U2 to Third Day to Praise<br><br>Psa. 42:8    By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me,<br>    a prayer to the God of my life.]]></content:encoded>
